Ep 2: The Gifts and Challenges of Winter

Plant Seeds and Spring Into Action

The Spring Equinox is on March 2oth this year, representing a time of awakening, rebirth, and turning from darkness to light. This is THE time to take action on making our dreams come true. In this episode, we take a look at what we want to grow and cultivate, what fruits we want to ripen and harvest in the future. Then we look at what seeds we need to plant and what we need to do in order to grow and cultivate our intentions. Along the way, we will learn from where we have "failed" with this process in the past as well as where we have had success. We also examine different cultural traditions and symbols that align with the Spring Equinox.

Craving Emotional Freedom? Try Tapping!

Did you know that negative experiences and emotions stay stuck in our bodies if we don't release them? That's why traumatic moments, arguments, embarrassments, regrets, and unhappy memories from years ago still cause us to have an emotional or physical reaction. They tell us to let it go...but how? That's where the Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping) comes in. Listen now to hear about this simple yet effective technique as I share personal experiences and evidence of how well it works.

Feeling Abundant in an Age of Scarcity

Do you struggle with feeling like you don't have enough time, money, love, energy, or something else? Or perhaps being aware of all the suffering in the world makes you feel insecure and unsafe? If so, this episode is for you! I discuss the lessons I learned from a week of meditating and focusing on abundance. We will explore the spectrum of abundance and scarcity and consider how we can start to build a mindset of "I have enough, I have plenty." Because when we live in a place of enough, in a state of abundance, we feel expansive, joyful, and free. And you deserve to feel that way!

Ep 3: Shedding the Skin and Exploring Transformation

In this episode, we will discuss transformation and change, on a personal level as well as how it may relate to the world at large. As the 2026 Lunar New Year marks the end of the Year of the Snake, we take a moment to pause and reflect on the subtle and not-so-subtle ways we and our lives have changed over the past 12 months, while also acknowledging the areas that we'd like to see change in the future. We will explore themes of letting go, endings, destruction, and new beginnings, and we will examine different symbols of transformation including fire, snake as a spirit animal, Aquarius, the moon, and more.

Ep 2: The Gifts and Challenges of Winter

Grab your hot bevvie, bundle up, and join me for a cozy winter day. Winter is one of the more polarizing seasons, with many people finding this time of year hard to love. The winter blues, rampant illnesses, harsh weather, and lack of energy are real challenges for a lot of folks. On the other hand, this introspective and reflective time of year can offer opportunities to get cozy, dream, and live differently than we might during the warmer times of year. In this episode, we will explore the gifts and challenges of the season. It is my hope that you might walk away feeling more connected and empowered by the season, ready to finish up Winter 2026 with more intentional living.
